are you a staple man or bonding!

[hail hail]

Have worked with guys who just staple their beads onto boards and have worked with guys who would bond them. Which way do you do it and why do you prefer this over the other.

Also this might sound simple but I've never closed of such a thin corner, its just the thickness off a plasterboard. Ive to cut a bit of plasterboard to cover the wallplate and skim it. Its on top of a limestone cottage wall where meets the roof.

Where the plasterboard ends, I can't put a corner bead to close the corner so next thing I can think of is to run a stop bead right along the end and skim behind this or is there any other way you'd do it?

 

[ggb plasterers]

Use a edge bead

It all depends on what's behind corner of board

 

[CTPlastering]

I usually staple on board work , so much faster . Just got to get the nack of where the staples come out the stapler etc

Do you not find there's a lot of fcuking about when the beads are nailed?

Yeah its nice and fast but like you mention, its getting a nack of setting them. Have worked with a guy who refuses to use nails or stapler and bonds them every time. Alot better to skim to but a c**t waiting for it to set.

 

[zolco]

Staple gun every time

So this coveres the board but still leaves a bit for skimming.

Dirty water , the dirty the better if only a couple of beads , ready to skim in 20 mins . Little tip lol on my stapler i scratched 2 lines on the top of it where the nail pins come out line the line to gap in bead and bang

Its a stop bead with a extra L shape on the back of it which slides around the top and back of the board so theres no board edge mate

Been on and off plastering years and have never used one of these. Hopefully the builders yard here has them.

Drywall edge bead is what your looking for. My local B&q stock them yours may do.

Well a no b and q stock them near me if u have a decent sized one near u mate

Just like on the paint on like the nose of the stapler , one like 5 mm off the left one 5mm off the right . Right where the 2 pin parts of the staple come out , line the mark to the gaps in the bead and ur laughing , once u get the nack u dont tend to look at the marks any more

 

[CTPlastering]

Just saves hitting the metal part of the bead with the staples like

Staples,so easy when your used to it.clouts come I handy though from time to time.almost never bond!

 

[Nisus]

There's loads of ways to stick em, take your pick:

•Skim
•nails
•spray contact adhesive
•staples
•gripfill
•hot glue gun
•ready mixed tile adhesive
•double sided tape
•scrim
•blu tack
•drawing pins
•chewing gum


Or hook on beads.

 

[Nicm]

I staple them unless the angle is way off,stick them then.

 

[theclemo]

I'm more of a simple man then a Staple man.

 

[paddy5]

Depends on how square and parallel the reveals are, as you can only correct the bead in one plane with staple, easily at least.

[Deleted member 23452]

A plasterer I know uses contact adhesive in an aerosol can. I was a little sceptical, but it seems to work very well, quick to do and doesn't make a mess. What's not to like?

You missed out crazy string

Staple them however drunk the angle is. If I've to pull it nearly off the edge of the board I staple them still, then when I'm skimming elsewhere I'll just rub a bit of stuff behind to solidify it.

This is of course with 'minimesh' beads which are predominantly used in Ireland. The 'drywall' skim beads more used in uk are more awkward to staple if you've to jiggle the bead about.
Nailing them though is a thing of the past, too slow & don't even mention when its hollow behind the board or if it's a bit shy of the angle.
Take no notice of Danny and his nails, most of you put more beads on yesterday than he has this year [emoji12][emoji12]

Not if you use mesh beads my friend.

 

[A.plasterer]

Tile adhesive exterior beads n grip fill n whatever shoite im throwing on for inside.

Just to mention bought a dewalt stapler from screwfix and it's the best I've had ( had quite a few over the years) lines already on it to show where the staples coming out, fires with big pressure, and with the least amount of pressure on the handle, can be a b*****d to squeeze some when your over reaching!!
